Time-resolved spectroscopy of proton and hydride-ion conducting perovskites
Research Project, 2020
– 2024
Fuel cells of different types offer different advantages but also bring different disadvantages. The benefits include flexibility for different energy carriers, and that it can enable a completely renewable energy system. Some of the disadvantages are that noble metals are required for catalysis at low temperatures <90 degrees Celsius, but at high temperatures > 800 degrees Celsius, problems with sealing or corrosion occur. This project aims to study proton conductors for fuel cells that should have an estimated working temperature of 200-500 degrees Celcius, which means an intermediate stage between low and high temperatures which could in the long term enable easier implementation of this technology in the automotive sector, among other things. The project is expected to be able to contribute strongly to a flexible and robust, as well as completely renewable, energy system.
